Solution:

Tetanus is a disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, a Gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that is usually found in contaminated objects such as oxidized metals. The nervous system effects of tetanus are spasms or violent muscle contractions, rigidity, and instability of the autonomic system.

On the other hand, Legionella sp is the second microorganism responsible for severe community pneumonia.

Finally, Dysentery is an inflammatory disease of the intestine, especially the colon, which produces severe diarrhea with the presence of blood and mucus. This disease is caused by the bacterium Shigella Dysateriae.

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Clostridium Tetani with Tenatus.

Legionella sp with Pneumonia,

and

Shigella Dysateriae with Dysentery.
